Principal's Report
Dear Parents/Carers,
God, may we feel the warm embrace of your love on this sacred day. May the glory of Jesus’s resurrection remind us that with You, nothing is impossible or without hope. We pray in Your name. Amen.
I pray that this Easter is a wonderful time of celebration and renewal for you and your family. I encourage you to find time to join a church celebration, especially to give your children an opportunity to experience a perspective of Easter aside from the chocolates. You are very welcome to join us for a whole school Mass next Tuesday 2 April at 10.00am under the COLA as we conclude the Holy Week story with the children.
Indulging in an Ethical Easter in 2024
Join with the one billion responsible ‘indulgers’ this Easter and watch what chocolate you eat.
Much of the world’s chocolate, including that sold in Australian shops and supermarkets, is produced using cocoa beans harvested by child labourers, many of whom endure enslavement and poor, sometimes dangerous, working conditions. Most are deprived of an education.
This Easter and beyond, you are invited to indulge responsibly, select ethically sourced chocolate and support companies working to eliminate slavery from their supply chains.
“Every person ought to have the awareness that purchasing is always a moral – and not simply an economic – act.” Pope Francis
Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans (ACRATH) is once again encouraging Australians to join the campaign for slavery free Easter eggs and chocolate.

Also, consider not buying something that is overly packaged. Lots of Easter eggs come encased in several layers of foil, cardboard and plastic - each of which come with an environmental and often human cost of their own. Remember to recycle your foil…
Wishing you a safe and blessed week,
Principal
